Everyone knows the face. The Burger King mask and costume have become easily recognizable thanks to television commercials promoting the popular fast food restaurant. Now you too can join in the fun and dress up as the well-known King!
The first image of the King appeared on the sign of the first store in Miami, Florida in 1955. It was in the late 1960s and early 1970s that an animated Burger King was used in advertisements to attract children to the restaurant chain. Today it is a King played by a real actor who inspired the King’s costume and mask.
It was in 2005 when they started selling the mask for Halloween costumes.
Two adult Burger King costumes are now available for purchase. The deluxe adult costume features a bright red and orange tunic with a white collar, a mask and a gold medallion. The second, called the standard adult costume, comes with a brown and orange patterned tunic with a white collar. This costume also includes a golden Burger King medallion and a realistic looking mask. Both costumes come in a standard size.
Do you want to add to the look? White tights and black shoes could complement the costume, making the wearer look even more like the commercial king!
Like the costumes, the King mask is also available in two different adult versions. The deluxe mask and the standard 3/4 mask are made of vinyl and have King’s signature look. The deluxe mask covers the entire head, while the standard mask covers 3/4 of the head. Each Burger King skin also comes in a standard size. Each one will transform you into a king wearing a crown and saving a penny!
The King mask is best known for the smile that spans the face of the mask. The Burger King mask also features curly brown hair, a beard and mustache and a Burger King crown on top of his head.
Since his debut, the King has appeared in more than just commercials. The King, wearing the well-known mask, has been seen in many parodies in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and various movie promotions, including the simpsons movie. A video game featuring the King disguised as a mascot, titled sneaky King, was also created in February 2006. More recently, the King is said to appear in his own next movie.
Whether you’re a fan of the King, the fast food restaurant itself, or want to get movie ready, a Burger King costume and mask would be the perfect addition to anyone’s wardrobe. It can even come in handy during the Halloween season or for fun at a local barbecue!
